I have three questions for both the 1/6 camp and the 1/11 camp. What percent of an audience of general readers do you think would arrive at 1/6 after reading the original question as written? Not after 50 posts and commentaries and coaching, but after reading the original question. What percent of a general audience do you think would arrive at 1/11 after reading the original question as written? Do you think that a jury of your peers in a US courtroom would vote that the 1/11ers have proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt?
This is not an equation. It is a piece of writing. This is all about the writing, not the reading.
